InMed Diagnostic Services, L.L.C. v. MedQuest Associates, Inc.

GOOLSBY, J.:

This appeal arises out of a dispute among competing providers of magnetic resonance imaging (“MRI”) services. Med-Quest Associates, Inc., Palmetto Imaging, Inc., and Open MRI of Florence, Inc. (collectively “MedQuest”) appeal a jury verdict in favor of InMed Diagnostic Services, L.L.C. (“InMed”) under the Unfair Trade Practices Act (“UTPA”). InMed cross-appeals, arguing error in the award of attorney fees and the trial court’s refusal to award treble damages. We reverse the jury verdict.
